but what i can't see anything really wrong with downloading from these "honeypots". My point being that you are getting songs off the net, but the RIAA has no idea if your getting the song cuz you don't have it, or cuz you want a version on your comptuer that CD-protection doesn't allow, or your just too lazy to rip by yourself. If the RIAA does the CD-protection -> it forces ppl to dl off the net. If they start catching leechers (which may be just ppl trying to get a working mp3 song of a CD they own) -> they leave no means of getting a version on their computer. blehhhhhh
As im lost in this confusing RIAA war, just a quickie clarifcation question:
The RIAA is going after file-sharers correct? Not file-leechers?
File leechers being those that take and don't share. I see no way the RIAA having a valid case against a file-leecher (since a file-leecher can easily argue they they are trying to get their fair-use due to the corrupted CDs out there).
if thats the case... bleh leecher will be the only ones that survive...
